clic pic for story![[Linked Image from static1.squarespace.com]](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/598a66006b8f5b013edc46c1/598a66a6f9a61e39d18ddec8/5e4f377b63a041579187c806/1582253967286/Dunford+Pete+tweet+2017+worked+directly+for.png) Smart people join the military to get benefits and to improve resume for particular jobs, public service being notable example. Frankly I see no problems here. Unlike most of the candidates this guy is actually intelligent and will have successful political career.

Back when military service was compulsory, I enlisted at 18 in 1962. Yup, joined the army for three years exactly for the reason outlined above. Never looked back. I was a company clerk in a couple different outfits in the US and in Europe. Lordy, what a ride!

Whiles stranded in the vast sargasso
Just for the time to passo
We started a spree, of buggery
On one another’s assho!

Edit!!
I learned this and many others while serving!

Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
